Four chairs. Three experts. One empty seat.

We'll begin with three invited experts taking their places around the Campfire. Each will share their perspective on how AI is affecting their work, their lives and the world around them.

If you're in the audience and have something to contribute, simply get up and take the empty chair.

When you join the Campfire, one of the existing participants will return to the audience, creating another empty chair for someone else.

Another person can then join. Someone else steps out.

And the conversation keeps moving.
